Chapter 140: Late at Night
Under Feng Wuchen's persevering request, Mu Qingge still relented and gave him some face in front of others.
After cleaning up almost enough, Feng Wuchen hugged his quilt and was kicked out of the room, Mu Qingge would never make any actual progress with Feng Wuchen.
The main house has a main house and a wing room, and the wing room was originally used for the crescent moon, but when the wind and dust arrived, he promised him to live here, and the crescent moon could only sleep in the main house at night, and it was cleaned up when he got up the next day.
The night here is much quieter than in the capital, and most of the time there is no sound, unlike the shouts of the streets when urgent letters from the provinces come in from time to time in the capital.
In the second half of the night, a series of knocks on the door woke up Mu Qingge, who was sleeping.
When she got up from the bed, the crescent moon had already dressed and got out of bed to open the door, and after a while, she walked back and whispered: "Miss, it's a holy decree from the court, let the master go to the court to do business." ”
"Already gone?"
"Yes, it's gone."
Mu Qingge, who touched his arm, walked out, and just as Le Ren also walked out, the two of them stood together and said a few words, the emperor suddenly summoned in the middle of the night There is definitely something particularly important, otherwise it would not be like this.
The clouds were very low, and the sky was cloudy as if it was about to rain, Mu Qingge looked up at the gloomy appearance of the sky and sighed and said to the musician: "It seems that it is about to rain in our capital." ”
"Yes."
Early the next morning, someone came to the courtyard, Mu Qingge washed his face and came out and saw that it was a young general, so he came over and asked, "Are you?" ”
"Say hello to Mrs., the last general, hehe, you just call me a little pendant, I am the person brought out by His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness, and your newlywed little one didn't have time to participate, and a little gift is not a respect." The little pendant put a beautiful gift box on the ground, Mu Qingge took it and said with a smile: "What's it in?" ”
The little pendant smiled and said nothing, Mu Qingge didn't ask, just sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and said, "You sit down!" ”
did not shy away from the other party, she directly opened the small sandalwood box sent by the small pendant, and there was a ball with exquisite carved patterns inside, on which the patterns of dragons and phoenixes were carved extremely vividly, and what was even more surprising was that in addition to the layer on the surface carved with exquisite patterns, there was also a layer inside that was also carved with patterns.
There are four small round holes on the big ball, and you can clearly see the small ball with fine and beautiful carving inside, and there is a bell in the innermost, which is very pleasant to play with the bell.
"What is this?"
"This was purchased from a merchant in the Western Regions when he was serving in the Northwest, and I heard them say that this is called a set of bells."
Mu Qingge nodded happily, put the things in the box and asked, "I suddenly came to the door today, not just for this one thing, right?" ”
"Hehe, in fact, I sent a letter to His Royal Highness the Five, and he had already been ordered to go south last night." The little pendant took the letter out of his bosom and said, "Please take a look."
This little pendant looks very sleek and sophisticated, and does not do much, no less, just right.
"Do you know why the emperor has to let Feng Wuchen go?"
"His Royal Highness also told me about this matter, the main reason is that the river suffers disasters every year when it reaches the flood season, and this is the case when the great grandfather is in power, and last year the emperor asked the eldest prince to preside over the repair of the river embankment, and the eldest prince received a lot of praise after this matter came back."
The little pendant paused when he said this, touched his nose and said teasingly: "At the beginning, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry spent a lot of money, but now it is still broken, if this matter is known to the courtiers, the prince will inevitably be impeached." ”
"You mean, the eldest prince took the money and didn't do anything, and hacked the money?"
"Madam, don't dare to talk nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with me, I don't know."
The little pendant hurriedly denied and said: "I just want to tell you about the specific situation that is happening now, the emperor sent His Royal Highness to hurry south, just to see how the situation is and what is going on." ”
Sure enough, Mu Qingge leaned back in his chair and lowered his head for a while, and then asked, "Little pendant, where are you working now?" ”
"Miss Hui, I'm still in the northwest as an escort, the official is not big, and the oil and water are enough." The little pendant said with a smile again: "Madam, if you want to eat or drink something in the future, or see something, you can tell me, and I will definitely find a way to get it for you." ”
"You're quite filial." Mu Qingge said noncommittally: "Stay and have breakfast before leaving, and I'll discuss something with you later." ”
Mu Qingge took the letter and motioned for Leren to follow him, and when he returned to the house, he asked, "This little pendant is very interesting." ”
"Flim-mouthed, flamboyant, thief-eyed." Leren's personality is relatively straightforward, and generally speaking, she doesn't look down on such people.
Knowing that she didn't look down on her, Mu Qingge just said: "This person has a character, let's not talk about this matter first, would you like to go out for a walk with me?" ”
"You're going south?"
"I'm very interested, anyway, I haven't been out for a long time, why don't we take advantage of this time to go out and have a look, how about it?"
The bold Mu Qingge didn't care too much about the danger of going out, so he was already interested in discussing it with the musicians.
However, after thinking about it, Le Ren asked rhetorically, "Will the old general agree?" I don't want to be accused of tricking you into running around. ”
"My father's side is relatively simple, I just asked, the little pendant is about to leave Beijing, let's walk with him for a long time, and then go south to chase the wind and dust." Mu Qingge said confidently: "It must be very fun!" ”
Leren looked at Mu Qingge's excited appearance, and asked in embarrassment: "Miss, you tell me the truth, you have no other plans?" Just going out for a walk? ”
"yes, that's right, just go out for a walk."
"That's it."
After talking to the musicians, Mu Qingge came back to discuss with the little pendant who was having breakfast, and heard that Mu Qingge was going south to chase the wind and dust, and this sophisticated and sleek young man almost didn't vomit out a mouthful of hot porridge.
After swallowing the hot porridge with difficulty, the little pendant wiped his mouth and asked, "Young lady, are you going to the south?" ”
"yes, I took the opportunity to go out and have a look, take a walk, what's wrong?" Mu Qingge asked rhetorically: "I'm just going along the way with you, and I won't delay your affairs." ”
The little pendant who rolled his eyes asked rhetorically: "There is a disaster over there, and there is nothing to do if you go, what are you doing there?" ”
"Just take a look, go out for a walk." Mu Qingge still said so.
